My guest on this episode of TRT the podcast is one of the leading visual optometrists of the world and is also my father in law.

Rob Gevers is helping children with all kinds of learning difficulties, frustrations and the common labels and diagnosis such as ADHD. He is also helping a lot of people with trauma, traumatic brain injuries and many common complaints often caused by the way we live in modern society.

We discuss what some of the main things that are failing people in modern society, how life has changed in the last 100 years and what effects does this have on us on a daily basis.

Often our conversations go deep into the philosophies of behaviour, Awareness, Learning theory and learning processes the differences between horses and humans and the comparisons between both of our passions.

But most importantly Rob offers some simple solutions to better some of our in balances, and difficulties we all face in our lives with and with out our horses.

If you could choose any horse you want, which horse would you pick?

I was asked this question during a FAQ in the latest episode of the TRT Podcast.

When answering this question, of course, my thoughts went to all the horses that have inspired me. And there are quite a few of them!

Wondering which horse I chose? Then listen to this new episode of the TRT Podcast!

And of course, I'm really curious which horse you would choose and why if you could pick any horse in the world. Let me know in the comments! 👇

"What's the #1 thing you'd want to change in the horse world?"

That's the question I received in my latest Q&A podcast.

How would you answer that question?

Sure, there are a lot of things that I would like to change. But, to be honest, I also believe there are also a lot of good things happening around us already.

And that we should pay more attention to these positive things instead of only pointing out all the things going wrong.

Of course, people pointing out the things that are going wrong do this with the best interest in mind: to bring awareness and to make a change.

However, it sometimes feels like some people are on a crusade to only share the terrible things. To show all the things that are not right. And, as a result, the horse world on social media seems to be flooded with all the things that are negative.

But what is the result of a 'negative' post on social media?

When I see a post like that when scrolling through my feed, I don't really know how to go from there. The instant feeling I get is sadness.

I don't feel it's a place that will inspire people to make a positive, lasting change and for people to progress and move forward.

I do feel this happens when you give examples of how things can be better for your horse and yourself.

I feel that in order for people to make progress, they need to be motivated in a positive manner.

That being said... want to know what I would change in the equestrian world by simply snapping my fingers?

Find out in this video!

Looking forward to reading in the comments how you feel about this topic.

My guest, Will Rogers, does incredible things with horses. He’s an inspiration to me and someone I have a great amount of respect for.

Because our journeys have been so intertwined and we’ve learnt so much from each other, it felt very fitting to have Will on as my first guest.

We talk about his adventure in the Swiss Alps, where he made a film of him doing liberty with his team. We also talk about working hard, having a vision and our mentors throughout this journey.

People notice that I never use spurs anymore. Therefore, one of the frequently asked questions I often receive is: ”What’s your opinion on spurs?”

In this episode, I will tell you all about it.

''It is not that I have never used spurs.''

But my years of experience training lots of different horses have changed my opinion about spurs over the years.

It’s all about the right mindset.

For yourself, and for your horse.

Curious about how I formed my opinion about spurs? Then check out the fifth episode of the TRT Podcast!

In this episode of the TRT Podcast, Tristan answers the question: Do you feel groundwork is accepted and do you think dressage riders understand the benefits?

Groundwork has not always been a method that people knew existed.

In the past, when few people were doing groundwork here in Europe, I did a lot of groundwork with my horses in preparation for international competitions.

When I performed my exercises and groundwork patterns in the warm-up ring, people looked at me like I was a weirdo. I was even asked once by the ringmaster to stop doing the groundwork!

Curious about my opinion on groundwork and how people think about it? Then check out episode 4 of the TRT Podcast now.

Many of you have several interesting questions for Tristan. Therefore, we have decided that during the next episodes of TRT The Podcast we will answer FAQ. In this episode, Tristand answers the question: what has been the most challenging horse you've ever had in training?

In this episode of TRT the podcast I cover a very influential horse I've had in my life: El Segundo. 
 
It's interesting to look back into specific moments and horses in my life and reflect with the information and perspectives I have now.

Which reveals clearly certain beliefs and inspirations that serve me now in my journey with horses.

I share some important times in my life back in Australia and people that have helped and influenced me along the way. 

I talk about the culture of horse racing in Australia and introduce you to a horseman that has produced many champions in the heart of Melbourne for more than 7 decades.

One of which I was blessed to have the opportunity to work with.

In the first episode of the TRT Podcast, Tristan Tucker takes you back in time to Australia in 2009, and tells about the Black Saturday bushfires.

It is a very intense story about the bushfires, that had a great impact on people, nature, and animals, including horses.
